Comes with Standard Tooling Package:

The rugged built RL-8500 provides a faster, more accurate, and easier resurfacing capability than any other brake lathe in its class. An infinitely variable speed controller means you’re able to turn rotors and drums faster and get one ‐cut micro-finish performance every time you use it. The complete lathe package includes lathe, sturdy bench, and large tool storage backboards allowing you to hang all adapters within easy reach.

The revolutionary RL-8500 uses independent DC servo motors to control the cross feed and spindle feed drives eliminating the need for complex mechanical gear boxes and transmissions typically found on mechanically driven lathes. Infinitely adjustable feed rates mean you have the ability to easily modify cut speeds with the simple turn of a dial. This allows you to reduce or increase the cut ‐time for best finish results whether speeding through an initial rough cut or a one ‐pass micro-finish.
